First of all thanks for your immediate answer. I wanted to quickly reply as well, but deploying my guest is blocked by so many things at the moment (mostly memory). I want to check on my own how it behaves in the Ubuntu version I got the report and if it is any different to Debian/sid. Given this takes much longer than it should I wanted to let you know that I'll report back here what I find as soon as it works.
